HepaRG™ focused training

HeparRG™ is a unique and well established hepatic cell system able to produce early hepatic progenitor cells as well as completely mature human hepatocytes.

It is a valuable hepatic in-vitro model to be used in:

• In vitro ADME applications: Inhibition assays, Drug metabolism and clearance, Metabolite Identification, etc.
• In vitro toxicity testing applications: Hepatotoxicity (reactive metabolites, lipidosis, cholestasis, etc.), Virology (HBV, HCV), Infection with hepatitis and other viruses for replication, etc.
• Liver-assist devices/BioArtificial Livers
• Transgenic liver humanized animals populated with HeparRG™ cells

The proposed training offers a theoretical knowledge on the HeparRG™ model combined with hands-on experience and supplemented with data analysis and management. The aim of the workshop is to provide a solid introduction to use, possible application of liver-based in vitro models in combination with the newest approaches towards data annotation, handling and storage.

Target audience: people who are working with in vitro test systems and would like to learn on new models, applications and approaches to data handling, re-use and integration.
